THE PRESS INVOKED.

ZINE religious press must give no un-
certain sound, for all these cannot stand
il the Sabbath goes down; and as far as
possible the secular press, or the better
portion OF 1t, must be persuaded to bear
n helping hand, when this. our dearest
interest as nation is imperiled. Our
Legislators must be ZealOusly watched
and proper men sent to vote and pray,
Christian leagues must be formed In
every city and town to see TO IL that our
Sabbath laws respecting the sale Of
liquor, tobacco, cigars, confectionery, the
prohibition OF gambling, the running of
trains and steamboats, be rigidly en-.
forced, or the very foundation of our So
ciety is in peril.
THE DYING WORLDS WANT.
"To-day the want of this dying world is
Christ. The one gilt that envelops all
spiritual gifts, the blessing that enwraps
all blessings for us. is Jusus. A personal
Jesus accepted is Salvation. A personal
Jesus obeyed is Santification. A personal
Jesus possessed is our only Power.
Without Him all preaching is empty
clamor; without Him all church machin-
cry is but idle clatter. IL we covet good
morals, good society, good government
and pure church, let us open our lips,
our purses, our hands and hearts to this
deepest, grandest, most heaven-born OF
petitions: Come Lord jesus AS Chris
tians we should emulate the example OF
Christ, who, though He was rich became
poor, that we, through his poverty might
be made rich. We must not, we cannot
forget our brother.

4 DANGEROUS EXAMPLE,

According TO a report from Atlanta, the
Prohibitionists have devised an improved
method of creating an interest in great
moral idea. The free lunch distributed by
fascinating and alluring females at the polls
was novelty, but the new plan goes be-
yond the free lunch. According TO the out.
line given it, the Prohibtionsts have Of
fered premium oil $500 to the colored Pro-
hibition club that polls the largest number
OF votes, $500 to the next largest, and so on
The initiation fee into the club is fixed at 81
head, and when colored voter is too pool
to pay it, his friends "pay it for him." and this
money accumulating in the club treasury,
remains TO be divided along with the pre-
miums after election.
The principle is exactly the same as the
free lunch at the polls, and the moral wrong
is no greater, though the possibilities OF
decentralization are greatly increased. The
lack Of moral sense which enabled zealots
to justify the free lunch at the polls may
enable them TO find arguments in favor oil
this cunning plan OF wholesale bribery, the
conception OF which makes the necessity
for more searching and stringent election
laws apparent
The free lunch and premium schemes are
conspiracles to corrupt voters, and if it is
found impossible to deal with them by pub.
lie opinion under the present statutes, other
statutes will be necessary to reach those
who carry out the conspiracy. The emo.
tionalist, male or female, may be able to sec
no harm in distributing daintes at the polls
and in offering prizes to induce political
clubs to poll votes for what is emotionally
regarded as a great and good cause, but
reason uncontrolled by emotion, cannot but
regard these devices as the greatest danger
with which American liberty, sustained by
free and uncorrupted ballot, has yet been
threatened.

JOHANNES MOST

breach of the peace. The new indictment

This follows the old English forms, but the
clause relating ito hatred and contempt OF
the government might very well have been
omitted us super1uous and possibly dan

into the case unnecessarily, for the real of.

United States the distinction betw the

under which high respect for the system
would necessitate contempt of aud hatred
for the administration, and the expression
OF this contempt and hatred would not be
sedition but patriotism. While Most hates
both system and administration, he and hi.
like can best be dealt with by ignoring their
opinions altogether, and dealing with them

Given an exclusive control of the markets
Of country, and combination of all the
producers of an article, and there is mo-
nopoly which fixes prices to suit itself. Our
high tariff, in conjunction with the differ
ent trusts now so rapidly increasing, makes
such combination as nearly as is possible.
A partial list of these trusts includes win
dow glass, lead, barbed- wire lumber, salt,
sugar, Russia sheetiron, sheet.zinc, school
slate, nails, crucible-steel, Bessemer steel,
coke, coal, Maine sardnes, wallpaper and
fourbags The object of all these trusts is
10 limit production and keep up or increase
prices, and in pursuance thereof member
is paid just as much for shutting down his
works as for keeping them in full operation.
The one inevitable result of this un-
American and despotic policy must be such
tariff revision as will save our people from
abject dependency by opening our ports to
competition from abroad. Things have come
to pretty pass when we must ask foreigners
to ship goods here to relieve US from the
tyranny Of domestic monopoly; but that is
exactly where we find ourselves to-day, and
the situation is growing worse all the time.

TlToagh tbel Presidents conferences with
some Of the leaders of has party it is well
known what his recommendations TO Con-
gress will be as TO the surplus Of the Treasury.
There will be definite, urgent recommen-
dalton for reduction of the revenues to the
extent OF about $10O,0O0,0O0, to be secured
by adding to the free list of imports and re-
ductions of duties on necessaries OF life in
such manner as not TO increase the reve-
nues, and by the repeal Of the tax on raw
tobacco. The tax on cigars will not be dis
turbed, as it would interfere with very
important industry. The platform upon
which the Democrats won in New York
this fall recommended reduction OF $780,
100000 in the revenues, and the leaders of
the party are prepared to make the issue
direct.
Besides the recommendations, which will
be explicit, there will be an administration
bill, built upon these recommendations
which will be informally presented to the
Democratic members, and 1t is expected to
go, perhaps with some changes, to the Ways
and Means Committee practically with the
sanction of the party. The action Of the
committee will be very formal There is
scarcely any doubt about Mr., Mills being
chairman of the committee.

THE TIME HAS COME.

The sturdy commonsense and transpa-
rent honesty of the Cleveland administra-
ton gives the man strong hold upon
popular respect But his party, as repre-
scented in Congress, does not make like
favorable impression upon the country.
Administrative reform is commendable, but
it is not the only important feature of gov
eminent. Creditable to the Executive, 1t is
helpful to his party, but it cannot excuse
broken promises of the party that more
vital reform will be comprised by Demo
Gratis in Congress.
The Treasury surplus continues TO ac-
cumulate, but taxation is not reduced, and
when a measure designed to give to the
people the relief to which they are entitled
is presented in the House Of Representa-
tlves it fails through Republican opposition,
aided by Democratic detection. The bene-
ficiaries Of monopoly tariff are more po-
tent with the American Congress than are
instructions Of national conventions or the
rights and needs of the people. The spolia-
ton made upon the pretext Of protection to
American industries would be curbed in a
measure BY the reduction of an excessive
tariff to revenue basis. 1t is the insolent
decree Of the benefciAries of this speliation
that there shall be no reduction of taxation
if their interest is not consulted. Thus far
no reelection, has. been made.
Under the leadership OF the Administra
ton the Democratic majority must, If 1
would not be discredited by the people, per
feet measure Of tax-reduction that shall
strike directly and professedly at the abomi
nable protective system. II the Senate re
ject the bill the issue will be made th,
clearer. The Democratic party needs t.
learn that it cannot lean successfully fo
support upon the performances of the Elk
ecutive. He may win and the party may
fail. 1t must have clear cut Legislative
policy upon the one important question nov
pressing for settlement. There has beer
something too much of promise. The tim,
for performance has come.

WHO WAS RIGHyf

The Republican papers are hrlwling them
selves hoarse over the fact thA President
Cleveland wrote letter before the election
in which he expressed his wish that Fell
lows, candidate for District Attorney of
New York City, and the Stall ticket Of
New York might be elected president
Cleveland violated no rule or cider which
he was bound to obey. His letter was not
an official one, but simply plain letter
showing concern for his party's success.
Scores of such letters were written by Lin
csln, Grant and all Of Cleveland's prede-
cessors. 1t must not be forgotten in this
connection that there were two otaer letters
written, the author OF which was james G..
Blaine. One of these letters was received
by Fred. Grant, congratulating him upon
his nomination and hoping that he, might
be elected. We think the other letter was
TO Mr.. Leeds, the Republican candidate for
sheriff Of Philadelphia. Leeds is the Re-
publican boss of Philadelphia and had Re-.
publican majority Of $4,000 at his back.
This same man, il we remember Alright, was
fought by every Democratic and Republi-
can paper in Philadelphia, with one excep-
ton, and was charged with being disrepu-
table character, and as result was de-
feated.
1t is significant fact that Baine's can
didates were showed under and the men
Cleveland advocated were elected. Biaine's
magnetism failed TO magnetlze in this in.
stance, and that fact should be remembered
by the Republican papers that are bowling
at Cleveland.
